[Update on Sep. 6 at 12:45pm: Mothership understands that the cat is no longer roaming, and may have been collected.]

A cat was seen mewing at the locked gates of an HDB unit in Tampines, according to a video shared to Facebook group Lost and found pets in Singapore.

Neighbour moved out three days ago

In the video uploaded, which since has been removed, the cat can be seen mewing at her, before turning to mew at the locked metal gates of another HDB unit.

The cat was also seen rubbing its head at the entrance of the unit. It then laid down while waiting for a response.

The poster said that the unit belonged to that of a neighbour who had since moved out three days ago.

Unclear if lost or abandoned

In her responses to comments, it is unclear if the cat is abandoned or lost; the poster was unable to confirm if it was owned by her neighbour.

However, she said that she recalls her neighbour having a similar-looking cat.

She is also unable to adopt it, as she already has a cat at home that is unable to get along with it.

The poster said that she had left food and water for the cat, and the cat has since been running up and down the stairs.

Speaking to Mothership, she said the cat has been hopefully collected by its owner, as it has since stopped roaming.
